mated by his party and he expected his Re-
publican friends to support their own

who did not stand Oh the platform of this
meeting.
Mr.. John W. Todd said he was Demo-
GRAFT and expected to vote for the Demo-
cratic nominees. but as the Republicans
did not intend having primary he did
not see the use of inserting the words.
Mr.. E. l.. Houff, of the committee, OPP
posed the amendment.
Mr.. Gratten said he wanted no third
party''; that would knock all the fat in
the fire, and any pledge like that in the re-
solution would make third party.

primary, I can still vote my party ticket.
